Lino Brocka’s Cannes Classic ‘Bona,’ With Philippines’ Female Superstar Nora Aunor, Set for Release in U.S., France (EXCLUSIVE)
Lino Brocka’s restored classic film ‘Bona,’ with Philippines’ female superstar Nora Aunor, returns to Cannes and sets releases in the U.S. and France.
Directed by Lino Brocka, considered one of the pioneers of Philippines cinema, a restored version of the film returns to Cannes after an absence of more than 40 years. The character’s blind and unrequited love has parallels with the protagonist in “The Story of Adele H,” the 1971 film by Francois Truffaut that earned Isabell Adjani an Oscar-nomination. The 4K restoration was carried out at Cité de Mémoire laboratory (Paris) from the original 35 mm image and sound negatives preserved by LTC Patrimoine.
